Lovely Lake and Wall in Nanjing
Perfect day for friends or family. The lake is surrounded by the city walls, which can be accessed at various pints along the way, for a small fee. The lakeside is really well kept and lots of people enjoying different activities. Boats are available to hire etc and there are snack options within the park area. the wall itself can be a bit uneven to walk around so consider your footwear.
